The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was established in 1947. Its mission is to provide the president with intelligence to ensure national security.
As one might expect, most CIA documents are classified and are not available in libraries. Government Documents holds a small collection of CIA publications. Many were acquired through the Documents Expediting Project, a onetime program of the Library of Congress. Here are some of our holdings:
The CIA produces maps of all the countries in the world. The maps are kept in the Map Collection. You may also view some CIA maps online.
The Government Documents collection has a number of congressional hearings, reports, and documents concerning the activities of the CIA. You can search for these in ProQuest Congressional and U.S. Congressional Serial Set (UHM login required). Please ask a librarian for assistance in locating the hearings, reports, and documents in our collection.
